Major Streets

 

The City of Toronto Housing Action Plan (HAP) is a comprehensive, multi-year strategy to accelerate housing supply and affordability across the city. Within that large plan, EHON serves as a specialized, city-wide initiative dedicated entirely to creating "missing middle" housing.


EHON- Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods along Major Streets

Major Streets Study is one component of the City’s Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods (EHON) initiative. 


This study focuses on permitting gentle density – missing middle housing (up to 6 storeys) – on major streets in low-rise neighbourhoods across Toronto. 


Kipling and Islington Avenues are designated as Major Streets, low-rise residential lands have been rezoned in keeping with EHON.
